MIAMI (Ticker) -- Dan Majerle followed a miss by Tim Hardaway
with 1.1 seconds to play, giving the Miami Heat their second
victory over the Philadelphia 76ers in four days, 91-89.

Terry Porter scored 12 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter,
helping the Heat bounce back from Sunday's loss to Indiana and
post their ninth straight win over the 76ers. Porter scored
nine points in the final period of Friday's 89-78 victory in
Philadelphia.

With the game tied, 89-89, Allen Iverson drove to the lane past
Hardaway but had his shot partially blocked by Alonzo Mourning,
who scored 15 points. The shot clock expired as the teams
battled for the rebound, giving Miami possession with 6.6
seconds remaining.

Hardaway fired a high arching jumper from the left baseline and
the ball bounced off the rim and to the middle of the lane.
Majerle was there waiting, grabbing the rebound and quickly
throwing it back into the basket.

"I knew Tim was going to take the shot with six seconds left,"
Majerle said. "Tim popped open, I saw him take it baseline, so I
went to the basket, and the ball bounced right towards me."

"We didn't put a body on Majerle," Sixers coach Larry Brown
said. "We defended the play great. We made Tim take a hard
shot, but we didn't come up with the rebound."

Majerle scored only four points on 2-of-8 shooting, but
contributed eight boards and eight assists.

Hardaway again won a duel with Iverson, despite getting
outscored by his fellow star guard. Both shot poorly and
committed six turnovers, with Hardaway totaling 12 points and 10
assists and Iverson collecting 28 points, six boards and five
assists.

"They were out for revenge from Friday, and it challenged me,"
Hardaway said. "I don't want them to think they can beat us. I
don't want them to blame turnovers. I don't want them to blame
bad shots. I wanted to show them it was us who beat them after
all."

Philadelphia has dropped three straight since a six-game winning
streak.

"It's part of the growing pains of a young team. We didn't
execute at the end," Iverson said. "We didn't do the same
things in the fourth quarter that we had the whole game, and it
showed. We just had a terrible fourth quarter."

The 76ers owned a 72-66 lead heading into the fourth but managed
only two points over the first four-plus minutes of the period
as the Heat got back in it. A 3-pointer and driving layup by
Porter pulled Miami within 74-73.

"Our defense was the cornerstone in the fourth quarter," Porter
said. "They came in with some revenge in their minds and we
stole it from them."

The game remained tight until Snow buried a jumper and Iverson
sank two free throws to make it 85-80 with 4:08 to play. The
Heat answered with six straight points to retake the lead as
P.J. Brown hit a pair of foul shots and Hardaway fed Porter for
a lay-in before sinking two free throws with 1:44 remaining.

Theo Ratliff ended the Sixers' brief drought with two foul
shots, but Porter drained the last of his three 3-pointers to
give Miami an 89-87 advantage. Snow then came through with
another big jumper, tying the game with 55 seconds left.

Brown had 13 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks as the Heat
moved within one-half game of the Orlando Magic for first place
in the Atlantic Division.

Snow scored 14 points on 7-of-10 shooting and handed out seven
assists for the 76ers, who scored just 17 points and committed
nine turnovers in the final period. In Friday's defeat, they
were held to 16 points on 5-of-26 shooting in the fourth.

"We just don't know how to win," Snow said. "We lost it when we
had the lead. The same way you play at the end is the same way
you play when you have the lead. You can't get passive and let
up."

After trailing by a 49-48 margin at halftime, Iverson buried a
3-pointer and 20-footer to highlight a 9-0 spurt early in the
third that gave Philadelphia a 59-51 lead.

"With all the bad offense we had, all we had to do was stop them
a couple of times," Brown said. "We had nine turnovers in the
fourth quarter. How are you going to win when you do something
like that?"
